It's a slow life...

That pretty much sums it up for the time being. January and February are always slow around our house. The hustle and bustle of December come to a crashing halt and it takes me about that long to get back into things.

A sleeping giant. So full of energy, spit and vinegar finally slows down and sleeps. His crib is full of stuff, 5-6 animal friends 3-4 blankets and at least 2 pillows. By the time he falls asleep it's mostly gathered around his feet, with his trusty red blanket and Clifford by his side.
Both the boys had Valentine's parties on Friday. Cody passed around his Valentines, checking out the loot in all the bags has he went by.
He was excited to show me his bag that he made. "I put stamps on both sides so I would know it was mine, Mom." Note Ty in the background with his rain gear eating him up.


Tyler helped me pass out his Valentine's as well, very proud and did a great job. We also brought snack and snuck in some cookies for good measure.


After a long week of fun, we traveled to Boise on Sat. The trip went well. Trying to get out of California to Reno took us 5 hours because of the ridiculous chain controls on the mountain. But we made up time across Nevada and cruised into Boise by 9:30 that night.
The house is busy with family, but we're making it work. We hung around on Sunday, watching the NASCAR race.
Monday we ventured out for some fun. Stopping out to the outlet mall to score some deals on clothes for Cody for next fall. ( I never buy in season anymore, the random shirt maybe, but that's about it.) Then we attempted to go ice skating. The only problem was, they were all out of the ice walkers, so Cody had to hug the edge while I kept Ty between my legs with both hands. Not fun for any of us. So after one excruciatingly slow time around the rink, we were done and ready for lunch. But before we hit the ice I did get one picture to prove they had their skates on and we were aiming for fun!

More to come. Cody has a new bike to try out thanks to Uncle Tim, so that will probably be our Tues adventure.

Ty is really gonna appreciate the diapy shot someday. Glad to hear you had a nice time in Boise. And don't worry about the ice skating - you'll all have a blast on Wednesday!
